Mr Falcon,
A "Lile" or Jimmy Lile is the maker of the Rambo 1 & 2 knives. He was an arkansas knifesmith who designed and made the 2 survival bowies with the help of sylvester stallone for the Rambo movies.I had the pleasure of talking with Mr Lile back in 1986 about ordering one of his Rambo knives.I believe he passed away a few years ago.You can sometimes run across a real' Lile' made rambo on eBay and they usually go for around $500-$700.

The box reads: "An authentic reproduction of the knife used by Sylvester Stallone in the film FIRST BLOOD - Exclusively licensed to United Cutlery by Carolco Pictures." I don't think Mr. Lile ever touched this one.
